January 11, 2016

Hola Mom!

This week was pretty long. We spent this week trying to help out the ward.
The baptisms that we have had here don't stay so we are trying to help out the
leaders. The Bishop asked us to come over to the church one night and we were
there till like 12 talking about callings for people and stuff like that. It was
cool to help but the bishop here is kinda hard headed. He just says everything
against what we say to "be boss" but between the counselors and us we got a lot
figured out. There are a lot of leaders that have been less active for a while now, so
we went and passed by some. For example, the counselor to the young men's was
contending super hard and asking why we are going condemning people if they could get the gospel in the spirit world..... Ha after a little discussion they said
they would go to church. They are a family of nine so it would help a lot. We had
29 people this week show up for church, so anyone that goes helps.

For investigators, we are still teaching all those folk but the ones that
are progressing the most are Ever and his wife Karen. They are friends of my
comp from Jesus Maria. Ever came to church this week while we were teaching
the gospel principal classes about temple work and stuff and had a bunch of
questions of how he could make his family eternal. So we are helping him out now.
Alos Maria Eva, we found her again. She was kinda hiding from us but this week
there was a ton of rain storms so no one thought we were working haha but we
were. We showed up to her house and you could tell she was kinda freaking
out. She promised us she would get baptized in December but then we couldn't find
her or talk to her again. She said the closer she got the more she felt like
something didn't want her to get baptized. She is praying for the 30th now. So
are we ;)

Tell goober good job in the game. Just gotta take it to the varsity now.
Ha I'll train him up a little when I get back. Like 3 months ago I couldn't touch
the rim and Friday night I almost dunked it so maybe I can help the runt
out.

Mission is going great. It's hot and humid but it's dope. Hope you guys
are having a good time at home. Be safe and love ya
